| Minister Viviane Dewa took office yesterday during the handover between her and Joël Randriamandranto, outgoing Minister of Tourism. |
The adoption of the new tourism code is one of the priorities set by Viviane Dewa, new Minister of Tourism and Crafts. An imperative so that the legal provisions relating to the tourism sector comply with current standards and realities, explains the new member of the government. She adds that it is also an argument to attract both national and international investors.
“The objective to be achieved for tourism would be to adopt the new tourism code in order to promote the sector even more,” she indicates, adding that this new law would be a way “to attract more investors “. Investors need to be reassured, she specifies. Indeed, the tourism code currently in force dates from 1995. Therefore, an update is necessary.
In 2022, a proposed law on the tourism code was submitted to the National Assembly, but it was not adopted. According to Minister Viviane Dewa, “to reach one million tourists by 2030, certain points need to be improved, such as the adoption of this tourism code. There is no miracle to go from 260,000 tourists to a million tourists,” she says.
